Özet
Amaç: Hematolojik maligniteli hastaların tedavisindeki gelişmelere rağmen invaziv fungal infeksiyon (İFİ), bu hastalıkların seyri sırasında önemli bir morbidite ve mortalite nedeni olmaya devam etmektedir. Antilösemik tedavinin başarısı ve komplikasyon gelişme riskini azaltabilmesi nedeniyle antifungal profilaksi önem arz etmektedir.
